The price of everything increases for so many varied reasons and boats and equipment are just part of it. Sometimes it's hard to know exactly the...
Thanks for pointing out that surface drive experiences are not all the same nor are jet experiences. Your take the helm of an AB 116 and all the...
I never argued against them. Do you use gizmos for everything you don't know? We're talking about the environmental regulations on Diesel Engines...
Oh, I didn't know we were discussing farming. As I know nothing about tractors, I can't address that topic. Love how you change the subject.
I stand up for who I feel is right. The information may be superfluous to you but to many of us it's useful. Just because you don't understand...
The gizmos as you call them have nothing to do with why they're so expensive.
You're the one who made the reference. My perspective of the meaning of this thread is as people age and technology passes them by then rather...
Depends on the boat. On a 60-80' Pershing, highly unlikely although on a 62' could be possible with a very sharp and banked turn, just wouldn't...
As Capt J said, if he wants to learn, then he will read the manual. Now, I'm going to read the thread with the eye of the lawyer or doctor. I'll...
70' Otam is about the same as the 62' Pershing with 50 knots max and 40 cruise with 4000 hp. However, the 58' with 4000 hp will run 60 knots WOT...
I'm going to compare two sister boats. A Pershing 62 to a Riva 63, either Virtus or Vertigo. Pershing 62'2" Riva 64'2", Pershing Beam 15'9",...
I've only seen two Baia's in person and they were both horribly underpowered or had some other issue as both had an extremely difficult time...
We have used them happily and other captains I know including on this forum have used Malcolm many times and always their first choice of firms.
I would want them only on a brand of boat well known for surface drives, not on a one of a kind.
You either like them or you don't. We wanted speed but we're not fans of Surface Drives. Our criticism is their performance in close quarters but...
Oh the dealers know. Nautikos has Miami Dade and Martin Counties (and some of Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central America). Grande goes up the...
And a rigid rule that no one does anything, no guest tries to help, unless instructed to by the captain. In fact, our rule is that they stay...
True, as long as they don't declare bankruptcy and I'm not suggesting they are in any danger of doing that as they are in very good financial...
Not the only one and not the only one to overestimate the difficulty. A well behaved larger boat often maneuvers better than a smaller one. The...
I don't disagree with your criticism of Sunseeker. However, as to the amount of dollars vs. the damage, the amount of dollars is substantial and...
